I was shocked to read that the first place the Shanghai tourism people want to send visitors is YuYuan Gardens. I have a bad taste in my mouth from AR5's very brief visit there.The next two places are visiting the Bund (original mansions along the Huangpu River where the foreigners used to live and work) and the Shanghai Museum (Chinese bronzes, ceramics, painting, calligraphy, arts and crafts).Shanghai would make a good place for an eating challenge involving seafood or some exotic Chinese culinary delights.

Shanghai is a metropolitan area of over 20 million people (17 million in the city itself, 5th to 10th largest metropolitan area in the world) depending on which source is used). There are lots of other less important things to see and do, including exploring the pockets of colonial architecture in the old French Concession, sampling the exploding restaurant and nightlife scene, or wandering the shopping streets.

Shanghai was visited by AR6, which went to YuYuan Gardens, to a tall building for a window washing at 40 stories high ROADBLOCK) and the very interesting DETOUR Bricks or Ice, both emphasizing serious physical labor.

GE does an adequate job with Valpo and Santiago; it does OK with PV, but the imagery is a little dated. Here's an outline map of PV; comparing it to this pano of Lourdes Grotto (the site has a lot of good PV panos), I'd guess the photog who took the pitstop pictures was standing near Pim's Pub.The resolution isn't as good for Angostura. Here's a map of downtown and the surrounding neighborhoods. (Who knows, maybe they just picked up their cars there)If you need maps with an address search, either Yellow (click Region V for Valpo and Region X for PV) or MapCity will do.

Well if it's Hamburg instead of Liverpool then Sightwalk can fill the gap; it covers a some German cities (like Hamburg) that Google SV hasn't visited yet. A view of the KaiserKeller is here. A street map is here, and some great interactive Beatles maps here.

Fact of the leg! Petrohue Hotel and Cabanas was also the Pit Stop for TAR 11, where David and Mary were eliminated.

WOW!! I had forgotten that!!

But these maps are too pretty to lose, we need to get them embedded!!

Perhaps you had forgotten it because that wasn't the precise Playa Petrohue pit stop. It was at Vicente Pérez Rosales National Park (Playa Petrohué) on the beach( cabanas fits but not the hotel) which is nearby.

I think it was the exact place. Teams this leg boarded the boats on the black sand beach, which is right behind the Hotel.
